It seemed as if a significant number of senior citizens and physically challenged persons did not utilise the Election Commission’s offer of voting from home. In several villages and towns, a large number of senior citizens and physically challenged persons came to the booths to vote.
Physically challenged citizen Maruti Siddapa Karigar exercise his right in Belagavi city. The unemployed youth who suffers from multiple disabilities said he had come in the hope that the government would implement some welfare measures for the physically challenged. He also appealed to fellow citizens to vote for better governance. Mr. Karigar had not registered for voting from home, though he knew about the ECI offer.
